If I have two 1-Ohm 12" FI SSD's with the VC wired in series, and the speakers wired parallel making it 1-ohm. If they are hooked into a Sundown SAZ-1000d does that give the both of them 1000 watts (approx) a piece or do they both share the wealth and get 500 watts (approx) each?? In the same aspects of things, if there individually wired with the VC's wired series = 2 ohms, if the amp puts out 600 watts @ 2-ohms, does that mean there getting (approx) 300 watts a piece?? I'm being held by pirates and this is the only thing that will set me free.

If you wire the amp to 1 ohm they will get 500 watts a piece. Wire them in series (2 ohms a piece) and hook each of them up to a channel on the amp. The sundowns are internally paralleled so when you hook it up this way the amp will see a 1 ohm final load.

The subs will share the 1000 watts, each one seeing approximately 500.

So wiring them together @ 1-ohm or wiring them seperate @ 2-ohms isn't gonna make much of a difference??

These are your wiring options:

The lower the impedance the more power the amp will make (it was also require more amperage).

Whatever the power it is, it will be divided amongst the drivers.

Ex: at 1ohm an amp produces 500watts, and your using two drivers, each will see around 250 watts. In simplest terms :)

You have 2 DVC 1ohm subs correct? Wire each sub in series to bring them up to 2 ohms. There appears to be 2 channels on the amp but it's really only one. It's internally paralleled. So when you wire each sub up to 2 ohms and then hook one sub to each channel your paralleling them to bring your final load down to one ohm.
